"THE THERAPY OF THE ROSE"

This is the therapy of the rose. We are not promised roses without thorns. In this year of 2025 we cry, we smile, but all the while we are faced with storms in America as we cry & smile. Smell the rose, spread petals of the scent of the rose to everyone across the globe.

(Verse 1)

Love is a rose with petals so wide,

Its fragrance whispers, "Come and abide."

But thorns beneath, they softly warn,

Not all that shines escapes the storm.

Kindness blooms in every smile,

A bridge of hope across the miles.

Empathy shines like morning dew,

A simple "thank you" carries you through.

(Chorus)

A rose with thorns, beauty and pain,

Lessons learned through love's refrain.

From compassion’s spark to loyalty’s creed,

These are the values my soul will heed.

(Verse 2)

Honesty’s light will always prevail,

Through lies and storms, it sets sail.

Loyalty runs deep, though hearts may break,

For those who faltered, I’ll still ache.

Open-minded skies embrace the sun,

In diversity’s dance, we are one.

Forgiveness whispers, “Let go, be free,”

But the scars remain, they’re part of me.

(Chorus)

A rose with thorns, beauty, and pain,

Lessons learned through love's refrain.

From compassion’s spark to loyalty’s creed,

These are the values my soul will heed.

(Bridge)

Gratitude grows where the shadows fall,

For life’s small blessings, I cherish them all.

Generosity flows like rivers wide,

Helping hands through the rising tide.

(Outro)

Support’s a flame, though small, it’s bright,

Guiding the way in the darkest night.

With love, compassion, and honesty sworn,

I’ll carry my rose, with its thorns.
